Romans 1:26
Romans 1:26-27 The Message (MSG)
Worse followed. Refusing to know God, they soon didn’t know how to be human either—women didn’t know how to be women, men didn’t know how to be men. Sexually confused, they abused and defiled one another, women with women, men with men—all lust, no love. And then they paid for it, oh, how they paid for it—emptied of God and love, godless and loveless wretches.

Romans 1:26-27 The Passion Translation (TPT)
For this reason God gave them over to their own disgraceful and vile passions.
